Why did my balloon deflate after a storm?

This is not a defect in the balloon. The apparent deflation is the effect of atmospheric changes
on the helium inside of the balloon. These changes make the balloon appear “soft” after a drop
in barometric pressure or temperature.
If a balloon is inflated prior to a drop in barometric pressure, it will appear to have softened after the pressure change. In this case, simply re-inflate the balloon until it is firm again. Likewise, if a balloon is inflated indoors and then taken outside where it is colder, the balloon will appear to go soft.
Once it is brought back indoors, the helium will warm up and re-expand, making the balloon look full again.

Will temperature effect my balloon?

Helium balloons can pop in warm temperatures due to expansion. To prevent this, under inflate them when it's hot.
In cooler temperatures helium will shrink, and the balloon will appear deflated. Once brought inside in warmer temperatures it will expand and fill back up.
